5/7/25, 4:50 PM DGHR Holds First Awareness Workshop For 'Research Awards 2025'
Al Falasi added:“The Research Awards serves as a strategic platform to advance critical
thinking and facilitate robust national knowledge production, further supporting key decision-
making processes and policy formulation. The award aims to encourage talented individuals,
including government employees and university students, to conduct scientific research that
addresses both present challenges and leverages future opportunities. It also seeks to
combine scientific research and institutional development, as a means to enhance
government efficiency. Hence, the initiative reflects our broader vision to promote human
capital development and invest in national capabilities, further consolidating Dubai's position
as a global leader in efficiency, sustainability and knowledge-based governance.”

The workshop was presented by Dr Amira Kamali, Human Resources Consultant at DGHR,
who highlighted the award's strategic goals, its categories, submission mechanisms and
evaluation criteria. She further underscored the award's significance as a dynamic avenue to
bolster applied research activities within the government sector. The workshop featured four
specialised scientific sessions, which explored key challenges and opportunities in the
human resources domain, with the participation of distinguished academics. These included
the 'Employee Wellbeing in the Work Environment' session by Dr Hamda Khansaheb from
MBRU; 'Human Resources Management: Reality, Challenges, and Future' session led by Dr
Yousif Al Ghalayini from MBRSG; session on 'Developing Human Resources Systems and
Policies in Dubai Government' by Dr Ayman Ibrahim from RIT Dubai; as well as 'Job Skills
and Lifelong Learning' session led by Professor Mostafa Hassan from HBMSU.

The final deadline for receiving research submissions for the award is August 9, 2025, with
winners slated to be announced in October this year. DGHR will also organise yet another
awareness workshop in May to further raise awareness on the award's objectives, increase
participation of government employees and university students, and provide the requisite
support needed to prepare research proposals.

Furthermore, the Research Awards reflects the wise leadership's long-standing vision to
develop effective strategies for human resource empowerment and adopt globally accredited
best practices in institutional work. This goal can only be realised through the active
participation of national talents in creating innovative, sustainable and future-ready work
models.
